This handbook, offers fresh insights into a critical period of our planet’s environmental history. The choice of scholars, from various corners of environmental science, convincingly demonstrate using many differing environmental management examples of how the apparent controversy between maintaining environmental quality, and improving people’s livelihoods can be solved in practice. In each case, the answer is found in a creative interaction and combination of perspectives and techniques from ecology and social science resulting in truly – and therefore effective – environmental management solutions, to urgent environmental problems.
